Trump’s White House removes sexual violence report from website

Donald trump’s White House has reportedly removed an Obama-era sexual violence report from the White House website.

Since Trump took office, how many times have you asked yourself “What fresh hell is this?” Today is one of those days I feel I’m asking every five minutes.

Our current administration has taken down from its website a 2014 report published during the Obama administration detailing facts and information on sexual violence.

Civil rights attorney Alexandra Brodsky first pointed out the removal of the report, “Rape And Sexual Assault: Renewed Call To Action,” Wednesday morning.

Removal of the report follows other disturbing disappearances. One of the first things Trump’s staff did was the removal of any mention of climate change.

I get it, the last one fly in the face of the conservative agenda. Sure, nearly all scientists agree we have a major environmental issue now affecting our entire globe, but profits over people, right? And gay people, well don’t get me started on the hypocrisy there. But those are hard-line issues the conservative party has built walled gardens around.

Sexual violence? Trump has his own grabby issues here, of course. But total removal of a major report doesn’t make sense in terms of the conservative agenda.

The report can still be found on Know Your IX’s website, which was created by Obama’s White House Council on Women and Girls, who put it together in partnership with Vice President Joe Biden.

Much of what’s in the report includes important facts and government-funded research to understand the effects of sexual violence.

Twitter user Dawn P. McCleskey pointed out as much in a tweet reply to Brodsky:

It’s worth pointing out, however, that it’s common for any new administration to make some changes to the website once the new leader is in charge.

We can only surmise for now what issue the Trump administration has with the report, but perhaps it has to do with erasure of anything not from this current administration — Trump doesn’t want to give the American people access to that information because Trump didn’t put his hands on it.
